Sweetened yogurt

If you're trying to eat a balanced diet, yogurt can be a quick and nourishing snack (or even a meal). However, if you are watching your carb intake, the number of carbohydrates in different yogurt types can vary greatly.

Even though fruit-flavored, sweetened yogurt has a higher carb content than plain yogurt, many people still choose to eat it because it is relatively low in carbohydrates. Nonfat-sweetened fruit yogurt has up to 47 grams of carbs per cup (245 grams), which is significantly more than an equal serving of ice cream. It is preferable to choose plain, unsweetened yogurt whenever possible and top it with your favorite low-carb toppings. To keep the net carbs under 10 grams, for instance, combine 1/2 cup (123 grams) of plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup (50 grams) of raspberries.
